Our Team

Ted Hardy, President

Since his first computer, an Apple IIe, Ted has loved seeing what technology can do to make people's lives better. He doesn't believe in technology for its own sake, but only in tech that solves real world problems, making the world better one day at a time.

He started consulting in college, while still a music major (eventually abandoned), with several college departments calling his dorm room to solve their technology needs. In the years since graduation, he's helped businesses of all sizes to make smarter technology investments.

Ted's areas of expertise are in business process optimization, technology strategy & evaluation, and custom software development leadership. With 30+ years of experience, with corporations, small businesses, and startups, in a diverse set of industries, and can bring that expertise to your business, too.

"Everything starts with a vision for what you want to do. From there, its breaking it down into the small pieces that are achievable. If you want to move it faster, find the technology that will enable that for you. This is how every engagement needs to begin, with the vision for the future at the forefront of your mind."

Clients

Restaurant Brands

HGC has helped restaurant brands evaluate their guest and team member experiences, looking for ways to optimize both their processes and their technology. We start out by looking at the company goals, studying how the restaurant operates, looking for ways to simplify processes, making recommendations on ways to improve technology, building a roadmap for the future, and developing budgets to bring it all to life.

Medical Offices

You know what is more gut-churning than purchasing a business you were formerly just an employee of? Having one of your first acts as an owner to be to complete a HIPPA compliance review. Regulations can be painful, especially if you've never had to read them and you're not familiar with all the terms. Our dentist was savvy though and could handle the process and personal confidentiality concerns, but the technology concerns were another matter. One of our first tasks after coming on board was to sit down with the legislation, suggesting areas in which our client needed assistance and what she would need to do to remain compliant. We discussed security roles, password policies, physical access to hardware and many other topics, stepping page by page through the regulations, making sure she knew exactly what was required of her and her employees. Regardless of anyone's views on the HIPPA legislation, it is here and it is tough on medical practitioners, especially those small, independent professionals who know much about their chosen line of work but not much about technology. If you are struggling with what feels like a truck-load of legislation, we can help you, just like we did this dentist!

Charitable Organizations

Fundraising is hard. Very hard. As your best donors age, how do you attract new, younger donors to your cause? Changing your tactics is hard, but can be very worthwhile. Moving from silent auction printed pages to digital bidding on smartphones gives you a great advantage in the fundraising process--namely focusing on donor's desire to win! Digital bidding allows you to send your potential donors a message when they are outbid for an item. No longer do they need to constantly hover over a piece of paper to ensure they win the item their hearts desire. They can spend the evening mingling with other guests, safe in the knowledge that the desired auction item will be with you as you travel home at the end of the night. High Gravity Consulting can help your charity find new ways to incorporate technology into your fundraising efforts, increasing your gross and net proceeds. We can help you find the right partner, make recommendations on training volunteers and create an environment where your donors love to interact with you via technology.

Legal Offices

Setting up a new business requires a lot of work, but the technology decisions are ones we can make easy for you. We helped a new legal entrepreneur select and implement a digital first office, configuring all his security and access requirements to ensure his client's data was secure. We advised him on selecting a hosting service for his company website and evaluated his website for accessibility.
